This riff is played throughout much of the song. I'm not sure if this is how Will plays it, but I think this
sounds ok. If chords are written out like these, play the riff, if not play normal chords. This song, like
many on Monomania, sounds much more bedroom pop inspired than many other Car Seat Headrest songs, as such
reduced tone and healthy amounts of chorus and reverb help to achieve the sound used on the album.

Asus4That wasn't any better at all
DThat didn't make me feel any Csus4better at Call
B5I thought it would
AaugBut it Asus4didn't
DMy consciousness is bigger
Csus4It gives me no pleasure Cto say
B5My consciousness is bigger than yAaugours
Asus4It gives me no pleasure
DAnd we descend the basement
Csus4Poorly done Cmurals, the faces
B5If there wasn't a house
AaugWe would build one withAsus4 our bodies
DHang on to my ego
Everything is Csus4coming loose Ctonight
B5I'm too nervous for boys Aaugnow
Asus4I'm too nervous for girls now
DEvery bottle you drink must be recycled and
Csus4Every plastic cup that Ccan't be recycled in this B5town
At the party kids come Aaugin and Asus4out
Talking about T.S. Eliot
BmIt starts out fun
Because the night is Ayoung
But then the Dnight gets old
And it just gets Acold
And we Bmgo outside
And we go back Ainside
And we say Dwhat's the plan
And there is no plan so we go

I put my fingers on you were goneD5Let's get away from these despicable people
C5They can't keep their mouths to themselves
B5I know there's lots of other guys with my name here
Bb5But tell me I'm the only one that you D5will
D5Does anybody use this bathroom in the daytime?
C5Is this a house or the set of a film?
B5Let's get away from these awful people
Bb5They can't keep their minds to D5themselves
D5I refuse to let go until you're C5impressed
B5I refuse to let go until I'm Bb5depresseD5d
(Another riff plays, basically improvise over the notes D, F#, A and B on the highest two strings)
D5I see you reaching out to t-t-t-touch
My C5skin shrinks, I think Iâll be shocked
B5By that sBb5tatic
It's too D5dynamic
Because I never wanted you to C5change
I only wanted you to be B5different
Like, not so D5distant
C'Cause we are C/Balone in our Amorgasms
C/BBut your Cflesh C/Bseems so Amsolid
C/BWhy does Cit C/Bmelt Amaway
In the morning D/Adew?
I'm Csorry, I C/Bthought Amsomeone was there
Like C/Btwo Cmirrors C/Bgazing into each Amother's eyes
Like C/Btwo Cmicrophones C/BkissiAmng
(Here play root notes quietly, or just leave it to the bass guitar/bass synth)
D5But oh, that night, that C5music!
The Glonger it goes, the more important I D5feel
(Another riff plays, this is more distinct than the last)

(Feedback with phaser and/or chorus)
DB said never to write about what's in my pCockets
But Bmthat's where my hands are, and thatâs where they'll Dstay
DBecause you're used to a softer touch
CShe's just used to a gentler touch
BmShe is used to a gentleman's touch
DBut hey man it's cool when you do it
(Another riff for lead guitar. This isn't exact but you can basically improvise over this pattern)

(From here the lead guitar plays a few slides across the B string on D, E and F#)
B5If none of us know the words, then A5only the D5melody matters
B5Na na na na na na na A5na na D5matters
B5I wrote this verse drunk A5

D5But it didn't

Did you C5cry because it was over?
B5Or did you cry because you knew it would A5never D5end?
AD5s long as we don't go to sleep yet

'Cause the B5nightâs not dead, no the night's A5not dead
I will D5not go alone to my single-size bed

We could go C5anywhere
B5But we will always be A5where we D5are

Until I laughed and headed homeN.C.
I learned my lesson never to roam
